THE STONE-CuTTER.

There dwelt in far Japan
Long ages since, man
Who earned, by hammering stone, his daily food
But discomfort and dole
Lay heavy Oh his soul.
Which craved great riches as the only good
And so the gods on high.
Who sometimes bitterly
Punish man by granting all his prayers,
Gave him u mine Of gold
Ia Ard lands to have and hold,
End, by and by, breed feuds among his heirs.
But soon he. murmuring,
Desired to be king;
To reign and rule-ah that were perfect bliss
He weared earth and air
With his incessant prayer
Until the gods INDUCED him, even in this.
His courtiers fswned and lied,
And rival powers. outside
His realm. assailed his peace with fierce debate
And heayiness and care
Bieached gray his youthful hair,
And made aim weary OF his regal state.
80, change me to a rock"'
He cried. that no rude shock
Can stir, nor any strife disturb or shake"
And 10 he stood, ere long,
bowlder. fixed and strong,
Which torrents could not move, nor tempests
break.
In vain the burning heat
Of iercest sunshine beat
Upon his head: in vain the storm-wind smote
His rugged sides; in vain
G:eat rivers. swollen by rain.
Came roaring from their mountain caves remote
He was at rest; and he
RelOiced exceedingly,
Saying: mo more for me, oh sweet releaSei
viii there be change and woe,
And wavering to and fro
Since ! am fixed in an eternal pcacew
But on a summer day
workman brought that way
4 hammer and chisel-these alone.
He measured here and there,
And then, with patient care,
Gegan to cat away the stubborn stone.
'Ahr' said the bowlder-king,
what means this wondTOus thingf
his ploGding workman Smtes and conquers me
He cuts, as suits him best,
Huge blocks from out my breast
Ie is more strong than l. Would l were he ~
And 10, the powers aloft.
Who had so long and OF
laughed at his foIlies, craved and then out
grown,
Again his pleading heard;
He taken at his word,
Gccame once more a hammerer of stonel
So, wiser than before
And asking nothing more,
Again abolt his olcen toll he went
Until be died from age
He toiled for scanty wage,
tor ever spake a word Of discomfort,
